I am more intelligent and attentive than you think I am. Doesn't matter. None of that is not over my head at all. I understand mental projection and perception very well, thank you.

I respectfully differ on #2 in this regard; One can indeed influence the level of another's happiness by purposefully not causing them unhappiness (not increasing their unhappiness) and by doing things that do make them happy. In turn the happier person is more likely to treat me nicely, which makes me happier. People do have what influence over each others emotions they allow between themselves. This a relationship.

You final statement summarizes and in this I agree, however I must offer my well intentioned criticism that your choices of words and vernacular and style are not always as clear and concise as you might imagine.
